Virginia Beach Craft Beer Festival

The Virginia Beach Craft Beer Festival will be held in a huge tent on the beach! Over 80 craft beers from over 50 breweries will be available for sampling. Oct 17-18, 2015 from 1:00 PM to6:00 PM.

Tickets include sampling and a commemorative glass. Live music sets the stage for the perfect outdoor setting for tasting some of the best beer brewed! Craft beer is made using a traditional process of blending the sugars from malted grains (such as barley or wheat), with hop flowers and water. The skill of the Masterbrewer brings out the desired aroma, color, mouth feel, foam and flavor qualities of the hops and malt through formulation of recipes and the fermentation of sugars into alcohol, carbon dioxide gas and other characters. After careful aging at just the right temperatures the beer is packaged and delivered to the consumer.

Sample more than 25 different craft beers, dig into some amazing BBQ, and listen as some of the best Blues musicians in Hampton Roads take the stage at Riverwalk Landing. This year’s Blues, Brews & BBQ promises to be the best yet!

Ticket includes beer glass and unlimited tastes of beer.

At 12:30, The Jukes will deliver an entertaining performance steeped in swing, boogie, and down-home blues. Then, at 3:30, the Michael Clark Band will take the mic to blend the Blues with a little soul, rock, jazz and fun.

NEW this year – a wine garden included in admission. Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door.
